RESOLUTIONS.
Ths Democrats of Carbon county in County
meeting assembled do with pleasure indorse the
wise, patriotic and economic administration of
Grover Cleveland, the Democratic President Of
the United States.
| That we reindorse the National Democratic
platform adopted in convention in 1884 at Chica-
go and the Democrats of Carbon county especial
ly applaude that portion of the platform relating
TO the revenue which declares as follows:
| All taxation shall he limited TO the require
mcnts Of economical government. The neces-
sary reduction in taxation can and must be eff
fected without deprivlng American labor of the
ability TO compete successfully with foreign labor,
and without imposing lower rates OF duty than
will be ample to cover any increased cost of pro
duction which may exist In consequence of the
higher rates of wages prevailing IN this country.
Sufficient revenue to pay all the expenses of the
Federal Government economically administered,
| including pensions, interest and principal of the
public debt, can be gotunder our present system
Of taxation. from custom house taxes on fewer
imported articles, bearing heaviest on articles of
luxury and bearing lightest on articles of necess-
ty. We therefore denounce the abuses of the
existing tariff; and subject to preceding limi-
tations, we demand that Federal taxations,
shall be exclusively for public purposes, and
| shall not exceed the needs Of the government
economically admins tered
Recongnzing the injury done TO the people of
| Pennsylvania by the fraudulent defeat OF the
Revenue Bill thereby robbing the masses out of
more than 81 000,O00 for the benefit of corpora
| tlons and holding Gov. j. A. Beaver Justly
accountable for the gigantic wrong, we denounce
him for his failure in calling an extra session of
| the Legislature to undo this fraud and accord
| the people a just relief.
| In this band OF Republican conspirators we
recognize Gov. Beaver as formost. We also de-
nounce the same Gov. for the executive aid given
| to monopoly and for his veto Of the Pluck Inc
Store Order Bill, The Republican Legislature Of
| 1886 with the Senate as a bulwark to monopoly
was OH a par with Gov. Beaver, and also merits
the emphatic condemnation Of the people.
The actions of our late represe ntation In
Congress the Hon. j. storm, meet with the
Iheaity approval of the Democracy of Carbon
County
We endorse the actions OF Senator Shull, OF
Monroe and Hon. Daniel Bachman, of Carbon Il
faithful representatives Of the people in tn,
Legislature OF Pennsylvania and we characteriz,
the Legislative career of Representative Anthon!
